JUST IN: CNN Names Its Moderators For First Trump-Biden Debate
Mediaite ^ | May 15, 2024 | Isaac Schorr

CNN will trust Jake Tapper and Dana Bash with moderating the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive nominees for each of their respective parties, both agreed to two debates — one hosted by CNN on June 27 and another hosted by ABC News in September — earlier on Wednesday.

“CNN Anchors @JakeTapper and @DanaBashCNN will moderate CNN’s Presidential Debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on June 27 from Atlanta, Georgia. The debate will air live at 9pET on @CNN channels, CNN.com and on CNN Max,” read a statement posted online by CNN.

ABC News has not yet said who it will task with moderating the second scheduled debate on September 10.

Meanwhile, Trump has agreed to a third debate in October that he said would be hosted by Fox News’ Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, but Biden’s team has already indicated that he will not agree to such a forum.

CNN’s cameras will shift away from dozing Biden while Trump continuously debates Tapper and Dana Bush.

Yes, while Trump seems okay to debate in any forum, I think it is wrong that they are all biased left-leaning.

What is the over/under for interruptions by the moderators?

Why is the first debate happening before either candidate is officially the nominee of the party? Will Joe’s performance determine if the Dems decide to switch Biden out for someone else?

Give me Steve Bannon & Mark Levin as moderators

How about Stephanopoulos, I'm sure he'd be fair. /s

Trump gets to pick his own moderator and place. Then Biden gets his turn.

No exceptions.

Trump is a fool for agreeing to Biden's rules.

Trump should demand a few minutes in the very beginning to talk about the biased moderators. Call them out before they can say a word.

Trump needs to debate Biden, and separately negotiate to debate Kennedy one-to-one.

Leave Biden completely out of the Trump-Kennedy debate. Biden is irrelevant and Trump needs to make that abundantly clear on the national stage.

A vote for Biden is a thrown-away protest vote.

Yep. F’n Joe will get softball questions. Trump will get why did you try to overthrow the government on J6. Even with that advantage, everyone will be holding their breath to see if Joe implodes.

Tapper also worked for Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) in 1997.

Sorry, won’t be watching.
Our PDJT, The GOAT, doesn’t need this crapola.

It won’t change any minds.

Let me get this straight, Biden wont be involved in ANY debate on Fox News, but Trump has to agree to a debate moderated by two left wing loons

Why would Trump even agree to a debate on CNN? OK, I know why - he’s not the incumbent and he needs the debate more than Biden does. But even so, couldn’t they have insisted on something better than CNN? The “moderators” will spend far more time arguing with Trump than Biden will.

The first debate run by CNN, and the second by ABC? Trump would be crazy to agree to that.

Fox is bad enough. CNN and ABC are off the charts Democrat hack stations.
Hell, ABC’s chief political correspondent is George Stephanopoulos, a Clinton stooge.

How’s about letting C-Span runs things? At least Trump would have a fighting chance there.

Trump should agree to answer any question as long as biden answers the same question.
And the questions or the answers can not be about Trump.
